Kristine Di Grigoli Paige has been known primarily as a performance artist, having performed publicly since July 25th, 2002. (Also known as the founder of The Sound and Vision Show)
Recently she has put more of her focus and her energies into translating her life’s experiences into art. Her first project was the completion of the ”B&W” (Black and White) series and the start of her new square foot series “Eyes”. Her travels, friends, and music all play a significant role in her work, including her life long obsession with mysterious veiled women.
She generally works with acrylics, a habit formed by painting in front of live audiences and needing a quick drying time. When studying an image she alters it to borrow its structure, its shadow, and provide her interpretation. The outcome will provide movement of emotions sometimes indescribable but likeable. Currently she is attracted to texture, giving some of her work a three dimensional quality. She often uses bold colors and will challenge tradition in order to express herself. Her work is modern in style but is often more significant by what it makes you feel.
A painter by day a Club Photographer by night and once the sun goes down she puts down her brush and pallet and takes up her newest love photography.(Check out her Photo Store ArtChick Photos) Frequently on evenings and weekends she can be found in New Jerseys hottest night clubs capturing youthful exuberance on digital images and recording this generations efforts to define itself.
